Carlesa J. Reneau was 47 and a resident of Decatur, Georgia when a routine trip to pick up her grandchildren ended in tragedy. On the afternoon of October 2, 2019, a dispute at a residence on Columbia Drive in DeKalb County between Reneau’s son and another man escalated into a shootout. Reneau was struck in the back by a bullet and later died at a local hospital.

Authorities identified 30-year-old Karlo Rafael Brownlee of Atlanta as a suspect in the exchange of gunfire. In the days after the shooting Brownlee turned himself in to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, was booked into the county jail without bond, and was charged with felony murder and aggravated assault with a weapon.
